Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.

Jacob loved Rachel. And he said,“ I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

Jacob lived in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father.Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Hear this dream that I have dreamed:Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”His brothers said to him,“ Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said,“ Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.Now his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock near Shechem.And Israel said to Joseph,“ Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him,“ Here I am.”So he said to him,“ Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him,“ What are you seeking?”“ I am seeking my brothers,” he said.“ Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.”And the man said,“ They have gone away, for I heard them say,‘ Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him.They said to one another,“ Here comes this dreamer.Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.”But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying,“ Let us not take his life.”And Reuben said to them,“ Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”— that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.Then Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothesand returned to his brothers and said,“ The boy is gone, and I, where shall I go?”Then they took Joseph’s robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said,“ This we have found; please identify whether it is your son’s robe or not.”And he identified it and said,“ It is my son’s robe. A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.”Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said,“ No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.

Then Joseph fell on his father’s face and wept over him and kissed him.And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.Forty days were required for it, for that is how many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying,“ If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,‘ My father made me swear, saying,“ I am about to die: in my tomb that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.” Now therefore, let me please go up and bury my father. Then I will return.’”And Pharaoh answered,“ Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear.”So Joseph went up to bury his father. With him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he made a mourning for his father seven days.When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said,“ This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan.Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them,for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place.After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.

So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh,“ My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.”And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to his brothers,“ What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh,“ Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.”They said to Pharaoh,“ We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Your father and your brothers have come to you.The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen, and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.And Pharaoh said to Jacob,“ How many are the days of the years of your life?”And Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.”And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their dependents.Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone.”And Joseph answered,“ Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him,“ We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh’s.As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.Then Joseph said to the people,“ Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.”And they said,“ You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s.Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place.” He answered,“ I will do as you have said.”And he said,“ Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.

“ Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall.The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him severely,yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob( from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),by the God of your father who will help you, by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that crouches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.The blessings of your father are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents, up to the bounties of the everlasting hills. May they be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey and at evening dividing the spoil.”

The sons of Benjamin according to their clans: of Bela, the clan of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the clan of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the clan of the Ahiramites;of Shephupham, the clan of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the clan of the Huphamites.And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the clan of the Ardites; of Naaman, the clan of the Naamites.These are the sons of Benjamin according to their clans, and those listed were 45,600.

And she called his name Joseph, saying,“ May the Lord add to me another son!”

Of the people of Benjamin, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war:those listed of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.

Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field.So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said,“ Lie with me.”But he refused and said to his master’s wife,“ Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,she caught him by his garment, saying,“ Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,she called to the men of her household and said to them,“ See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.”Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home,and she told him the same story, saying,“ The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me.But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.”As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him,“ This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled.And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it.The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge, because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed.Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt.And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.And one night they both dreamed— the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison— each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house,“ Why are your faces downcast today?”They said to him,“ We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them,“ Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him,“ In my dream there was a vine before me,and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”Then Joseph said to him,“ This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.”When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph,“ I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.”And Joseph answered and said,“ This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head— from you!— and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Of Benjamin he said,“ The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety. The High God surrounds him all day long, and dwells between his shoulders.”And of Joseph he said,“ Blessed by the Lord be his land, with the choicest gifts of heaven above, and of the deep that crouches beneath,with the choicest fruits of the sun and the rich yield of the months,with the finest produce of the ancient mountains and the abundance of the everlasting hills,with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwells in the bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.A firstborn bull— he has majesty, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox; with them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her,“ Do not fear, for you have another son.”And as her soul was departing( for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.
